Climate scientists have been warning for decades of the devastating consequences to expect as a result of global warming.

But this solution is not as simple as proponents would have us believe. Betting on climate engineering — either as a planetary insurance policy or as a last-ditch measure to combat rising temperatures — is not only risky; it also directs attention ...
In short, if we rely on a technical fix to combat climate change, rather than addressing the root problem, we could become addicted to the illusion that all is well when, in fact, all that we are doing is delaying the inevitable, while increasing the risk of some serious unintended conseq...
Geoengineering, the large-scale manipulation of a specific process central to controlling Earth’s climate for the purpose of obtaining a specific benefit. Efforts are designed to change the amount of solar radiation Earth receives or change the fate of
The moral critique of geoengineering is that the proposals may give developed countries an excuse to continue CO2 pollution and avoid participating in meaningful international efforts to combat climate change. Because no geoengineering proposal has ever been demonstrated to have a measurable effect on cli...

Now, the idea of launching a gigantic dust cloud from the moon to combat Earth’s rising temperatures is under the spotlight. However, this very sci-fi solution has some serious implications if pursued, if humanity can even achieve the feat in the first place. Continue reading “Could Moon ...
1.Engineering that involves large-scale manipulation of the earth's environment, especially as applied to climate change caused by global warming, as in sequestering carbon or increasing the amount of solar radiation reflected from the earth back into space. ...
